Isn't Stidham here because of Lashlee?

Just because Stidham is here doesn't mean there is some guarantee of QB/WR success.

Our QB play since Nic Marshall hasn't given anyone the warm fuzzies. Game film shows the QBs stagnant in their development or even regressing in their mechanics. And we've not had consistent production from our WR receiver corps, despite some highly-rated recruits. I'm not the only one who notices the simple routes they run.

I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll be in the hunt with Stidham, but I've watched his games. He is accurate and makes good decisions, but he's wooden and has limited success when the play breaks down. As we all know, in the SEC, plays break down...a lot.

Stidham appears to be a guy that knows how to use the tools he's given, but he's been injured once. I just wish we had a proven QB guru on staff to shore up this position and be there to execute plan B if Stidham is limping by mid season.
